The Envelope Songtext
von per se

We′re sleeping through the night thinking it's okay
We′re living through life
But something isn't right

We're walking proud and bright thinking it′s the way
We′re building our prize
But something isn't right

So I will count to ten
And in this envelope here
Take a look inside
See if we were to start again
Then would this situation change your mind

And I′d say contemplate
But now this letter's near the end of the line
So if we were too late to take on
Then nevermind

We′re looking to the sky thinking things will change
We turn a blind eye
But some hands can't be tied


The villain or the knight
Make up your mind
The villain or the knight
No turning back

So I will count to ten
And in this envelope here
Take a look inside
See if we were to start again
Then would this situation change your mind

And I′d say contemplate
But now this letter's near the end of the line
So if we were too late to take on
Then nevermind

And now the sun sets another day
A single flower starts to burn
With an envelope that's wavering beside
So I will count to ten
I will count to ten
In this envelope here
Pending your reply


So I will count to ten
And in this envelope here
Take a look inside
See if we were to start again
Then would this situation change your mind

And I′d say contemplate
But now this letter′s near the end of the line
So if we were too late to take on
So if we were too late to take on
Then nevermind
